The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of any adverse events that may have contributed to the death of burned children.Four surgeons with specialty training in pediatric burn care reviewed the clinical course and autopsy findings of 71 burned children who died after admission to a ...
This is urgently needed to better understand and put into clinical context the findings of the FEAST trial. Identify thresholds for intervention in various case mixes of sick children. Evaluate the effectiveness of different interventions on the degree of positive fluid balance and the impact on ...
Figure 1 provides a typical example of the findings from these studies. Table 2. Summary of published studies assessing the effects of long-acting inhaled bronchodilators on hyperinflation at rest and exercise tolerance as assessed using endurance testing with measurement of endurance time, Borg ...
In the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), sepsis, cardiac critical illness, hypovolemia, abdominal hypertension, and urinary tract obstruction are among the critical care-related factors that can cause AKI. The pathophysiological mechanisms of AKI are not exactly the same for different critical care ...
These findings have important implications for detection of hemorrhage in austere environments (e.g., combat) when use of a peripheral sensor may not be ideal, and may facilitate incorporation of these sensors into uniforms.JustinInstituteD
The neurological syndromes may require a specific management, such in the case of acute liver failure, or in the context of chronic liver cirrhosis or portosystemic shunting. The relevant pathophysiological and clinical aspects, the practical diagnostic findings useful for the preoperative clinical ...

In phase 3 studies, use of an ultrafiltration protocol for blood volume reduction and monitoring of postdialytic vascular compartment refill combined with clinical assessment of hypovolemia and postdialytic fatigue demonstrated that patients often had a clinical dry weight assessment which was too low or...
The research team created realistic virtual victims of trauma (6 cases), nerve toxin exposure (10 cases), and blast trauma (10 cases); the latter two groups were supported by rules-based, pathophysiologic models of asphyxia and hypovolemia. Evaluation of these virtual world simulation exercises ...
